Tottenham Hotspur are now plotting a surprise move for the Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha.
According to GMS, they are looking to find out how much it would take to sign the Portuguese international this summer. He has not been able to hit top form since joining the German club, and Palhinha has been linked with a return to the Premier League.
Spurs need more midfield quality
According to reports, Tottenham have made contact to sign the Portuguese international.
Bayern Munich paid around £47 million to sign the player, and it remains to be seen whether they are ready to let him leave for a reasonable amount of money.
Tottenham need a reliable defensive midfielder who will add defensive cover and physicality to the side. Yves Bissouma is expected to leave the club in the coming weeks. The Mali International has been underwhelming, and Tottenham need an upgrade. Signing Palhinha could prove to be an interesting decision.
